The Stroppies self-titled debut. Originally released as a cassette in 2017 on the Hobbies Galore label. Starting out as a recording project between Angus Lord, Claudia Serfaty, and Stephanie Hughes, the germ of what would eventually become The Stroppies was formed around a kitchen table in Melbourne's inner west, early in 2016. The initial idea was to create open-ended music, collaged quickly and haphazardly together on a Tascam 4-track Portastudio that drew on stream-of-consciousness creativity and a DIY attitude a la Guided By Voices and The Great Unwashed. The desire to move beyond the pre-programmed drum patterns available on their Casio keyboard led to the addition of Rory Heane on drums and a more conventional band dynamic. In Late 2016, Alex Macfarlane recorded the band in their lounge room direct to 4-track, capturing seven songs that would become their 2017 self-titled cassette tape debut. The songs were bounced back-and-forth from tape machine to computer to tape machine to computer again. In keeping with the bands initial aesthetic, dubs were laid over a four month period incrementally on different devices as members had babies, explored intercontinental love affairs, and set up homes together. Since the release of the tape, Adam Hewwit has joined the group on third guitar as they settle down into exploring the new band dynamic and focus on their next recording project. The Stroppies is composed of members of many Melbourne and UK bands (Claudia is originally from London) including Dick Diver, Primetime, Possible Humans, White Walls, Boomgates, The Stevens, and See/Saw, to name a few. They make modest, idiosyncratic pop songs that reward with repeated listening. Edition of 200.
